Chapter 52: Iron Man Never Retreats
Rod said: "No, thank you, I don't smoke ......"
Immediately after, he saw Stark take out a cigarette for himself, and then threw it into the air, and in an instant, a thin blue and silver mecha was armed on his body, Rod swallowed and said, "Get me one, thank you." ”
On the other side, General Johnson had just re-climbed into the cockpit of a giant robot, and what appeared in his field of vision was a fist the size of a punching bag.
Iron Man was about to deal with Johnson with Rhodes, but was stopped by the steel monster that was back on his feet, and he heard Obadiah say, "You know what? Most of the things I told you about your father were not the truth. ”
"Actually, he smokes and drinks heavily, mingles with women, daydreams all day, is good at whims, and after messing up a bunch of things, he will only let others clean up the mess for him."
"All those heroic stories about him, I made them up, and he's actually a complete bastard."
"But do you know how I stopped him when he was about to say something stupid in his mouth?"
Iron Man had a bad premonition, but before he could answer, a punching bag-sized fist appeared in his field of vision.
Looking at Iron Man flying out upside down, the little spider rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, now the question is, who should we help?" ”
Captain America patted his shield and said, "I think Obadiah has a point, after all, he is Stark's elder, and he has more reason than me to beat him up." ”
"But we don't look like that, right?"
"Then let's not look, let's go, there are still wounded people to be carried into the ambulance."
The other side. Iron Man got up from a pile of steel bars in a daze, and said, "Wait! Uncle...... Well, Howard is a sucky person, and so am I! But I feel like there's a better solution than this one, and I feel like we can sit down and talk! Or have a board or something, and don't always solve problems with your fists......"
"You're not even better qualified to say that."
With a roar from the Iron Monster, the huge robot leaped up and landed in front of him, and the shadow covered Iron Man's armor, Obadiah said, "You will soon understand that this iron shell of yours is useless, even if you change its appearance." ”
Iron Man was helpless, Obadiah seemed determined to beat him, and his anger also came up, he said, "You will soon know if it just has a different appearance!" ”
As he spoke, he dodged the giant steel monster's fist like a bird, and almost instantly he flew to the back of the steel monster and punched it in the back.
With a backhand swing of the steel monster, Stark dodged nimbly again, his current armor was thinner and lighter, but the power system was modified to be faster and more agile.
He stretched out his palm, and the steel bars of the ruins next to him began to tremble slightly, and then flew up in an instant, pointing straight at the steel monster, Jarvis said to Stark: "The magnetic control system is still being upgraded, it cannot be operated at high frequencies, and the energy is about to run out......"
Stark clenched his fist, and the steel flew out against the steel monster.
Obadiah obviously didn't expect this hand, after all, it turned out that Iron Man's painting style was a warrior, and in addition to the palm cannon, most of the time he also fought with the enemy, but now this silver and blue mecha made him look more like a mage.
As Stark's arms swapped, the steel bars shot at the steel monster at a rapid pace, and Obadiah only had time to control the mech, dodging most of the steel bars on the left side, but still a few hit the right arm of his armor.
But he was much more decisive, and jumped out directly with his strength the moment he was hit, and it was an uppercut to Iron Man in the air.
Iron Man's mecha emitted a series of sparks, and he was not to be outdone, he directly dived in a reverse direction and punched the steel monster in the neck, and the steel monster shook slightly, grabbed one of Iron Man's legs, and threw him out.
Iron Man was shocked again, and it happened that the place where he landed was the battlefield of Rod and General Johnson, and Rod also fell into a disadvantage, and Iron Man shouted: "Come on!" Swap opponents and we start the second half! ”
This is the right decision, Rhodes's mecha is stronger, but the general Johnson he is facing, that huge mecha has eight tentacles, and it will be pulled out if it is not fast enough, and it is indeed better to be dealt with by Stark's more agile mecha.
So, Rhodes stabilized his body, and directly pulled up and dived, and flew towards Obadiah's steel monster.
After choosing the right opponent, the battle situation began to become clear, Stark used high mobility to directly dismantle most of the tentacles on General Johnson's back, and without the tentacles to assist in moving, Johnson's mecha became a real iron can, becoming Iron Man's sandbag, and began to fire everywhere after a few punches.
The robots he summoned were basically solved by Stark using his high speed and quickly.
On the other side, Rhodes, who had a hard time with the steel monster, although it was uncomfortable, but the steel monster had already had a malfunction in his leg in the previous explosion, and after a few rounds, the steel monster fell to the ground, and it seemed that he could not stand up again.
Rhodes walked up to Iron Man and said, "I've heard my former boss, General Andro Sr., mention that he knew your father when he was younger, but I don't know exactly what happened. ”
"Howard, that damn scumbag! He picked up old Andro with an order from the military! Originally, I wasn't supposed to be a little major general in the Air Force! ”
"It doesn't matter anymore." Stark said, "Now I'm afraid you can't even be a major general." ”
"Everyone knows that only Iron Man can build these mechas, and I use all the technology you gave to the military, as long as it is ......"
"No, I don't mean that, I mean, Howard is a rotten guy, but I think there's something to learn from him, like, finding the right partner in the military, of course, that's not your ......"
"Aren't you going to shut down Stark's weapons manufacturing department?"
"Where did you hear the rumors?"
Johnson turned his head to look at Obadiah's mech.
"Did my uncle tell you?"
"Did he tell you that every Stark is like this, we are very fickle, just a few minutes ago, I changed my mind, not only will I not close Stark's weapons manufacturing department, I also plan to officially cooperate with the military, it just so happens that I have a few ideas about individual exoskeletons, and medical auxiliary support systems......"
"Nope! You can't do this! Damn, I've promised Hammer the military ......"
"A fool will always go to another fool." Obadiah's voice came from afar.
Johnson's mech erupted in a barrage of sparks, apparently hammering something inside.
"It looks like these mechs were made for you by that Hammer Military, but with all due respect, these things are long outdated."
"yes, you only gave Rod the outdated technology." Johnson has not forgotten to sow discord until now.
Rod crossed his arms next to him and said, "He just gave me a cigarette, a very fashionable cigarette." ”
Stark didn't talk nonsense with Johnson anymore, he walked over to the collapsed steel monster, and then opened the cockpit, and Obadiah was lying inside, he didn't look injured on the outside, but his face was so bad that he looked like he was going to die.
"Doctor! I need a doctor! ”
Schiller appeared, and he spread his hands and said, "I guess you don't need me as a psychiatrist." ”
"Of course, but stop talking nonsense, get him to the hospital."
The symbiote said to Schiller in his head: "His heart ......"
Schiller felt Obadiah's pulse and found that his heart rate was indeed very wrong, Obadiah coughed and said, "The external energy core is not enough to power such a behemoth......"
"You've done something to your heart?" Schiller asked.
Stark anxiously ripped off Obadiah's shirt and found that there was indeed a scar on his chest, and he said anxiously, "Hurry up! Send him back to my lab first! …… Damn, the path of biomechanics doesn't work at all! That's simply overdrawing your life! ”
"You're as arbitrary as your father, and you don't listen to anyone......" Obadiah said, but seeing the blood running down Stark's forehead, he didn't say anything in the end.
"You send him back first, it just so happens that I know a good neurosurgeon, and you'll see him in Stark Tower in a moment."
After Schiller and Stark were gone, only General Johnson and Rhodes were left on the battlefield, and Johnson was frantically yelling: "You damn madman! Rhodes! Don't you know that the duty of a soldier is to obey orders? I'm your top now! That old Andro has long since retired and gotten out! ”
"Yes, the status of the above general is honorably retired, and he can also get a high-paying idle position in Congress, with a large pension, he went to Hawaii for two months last winter, and his granddaughter has just been admitted to Harvard......"
Johnson's mech exploded violently again.
After a while he said, "You'll regret it, Rod, Stark was never trustworthy, you're going to regret being his friend." ”
"They're selfish, sensitive, suspicious, they're going to ruin everything sooner or later, they have a genius brain that can save themselves, but they're not going to save you, they're not going to save a watchdog."
Rod took off his mech and stepped out of it, looking around.
This place has been completely shattered into ruins, not far away, the little spider and Captain America are putting the wounded in the ambulance, most of them are evacuated in an orderly manner, but many of them were injured by the aftermath of the explosion in the process of escaping, and they will just be rescued.
New York is huge, and the aftermath of the battle has only affected a few nearby streets, and the roads farther afield are still bustling with vehicles and pedestrians.
Soon, a purple-red glow lit up at the end of the day, and dawn was coming.
"You're right, Stark is a bunch of rotten people, impulsive, willful, never thinking about the consequences, waiting for others to clean up the mess for them, but Iron Man is different......"
Rhodes looked at the light at the end of the sky, he reached out, took off his epaulettes, looked down, pinched it on his fingertips, and threw it in Johnson's face.
“…… Iron Man never backs down. ”
